ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — Ana Pain, you just won the national championship. Where are you and your teammates going to go?

"South Beeeeach."

Barry University's No. 2-ranked women's tennis team beat No. 3 Lynn 5-0 on Saturday at Sanlando Park to win the NCAA Division II National Championship in dominating fashion. It is the program's third national title and second in four years at the same venue. It is Barry University's 17th national championship overall.

Pain and Goia have been a part of two national championship teams, having won their first together in Altamonte Springs in 2014.

Larsen went 28-0 in singles this season to set a school record.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

"The feeling is amazing to win another national championship. We felt from the beginning this could be a great team, and we could do something special. I'm so proud of the girls. On the biggest stage in college tennis, we were able to play our best match against a really good Lynn team. Of course, it's a great feeling to go undefeated. This is just a testament to how great of a team this was. They did not accept anything but winning. That's what makes them champions. We kept talking all year long about destiny. We told them their destiny was to go all the way, and be the best in Barry women's tennis. All credit to them, they made it happen."
-- Barry nine-year head coach Avi Kigel
